Beirut Jam Sessions is a platform that promotes music via concerts and sessions. We've been doing this since 2012 and, despite all the challenges we've faced down the years, we've kept going.

My projects were mostly about the veil which reaches cultural, religious and political ideas. At the same time I enjoy painting, and I'm inspired by the big eyes and the cute culture.

Painting, sculpture, ceramics, movies, storytelling, writing or other visual arts are the perfect tools to talk about a crucial event.

Music is my life, it gives me power and faith to face all difficulties and challenges everyday by allowing me to be always happy.

I believe that the current economic crisis in Lebanon has left many artists struggling to sell their artworks to an extent that they feel the urge to decrease their prices in order to sell; this is due to the fact that more than half of the country's population is trapped in poverty and unable to buy the bare necessities.

Arts and culture have a huge role. They unite people. They also allow them to communicate together through images, sounds, videos, stories etc… Hence better social interactions. In addition, arts and culture help the economical growth of a country, they create job opportunities, consumer purchases market, and attract tourists.

Unfortunately, art has become secondary in people’s everyday life, and transmitting ideas is getting more difficult in a crowded world and with the new technologies.
